Kazshak new data fetch #181

Closed kazshak closed 3 years ago

kazshak commented 4 years ago

Modified the data-fetch script so that it will now grab the data from Code For Nashville Open Data Portal on Github. This data will be downloaded to the input directory, and then the data-import script will re-shape the data to the format needed for the website, and store it in the public\data folder.

Ok, seems that files that didn't change names, did change some numeric formatting (dropping trailing decimal 0s).

But at least for input/20150401.csv, it dropped some leading 0s in codes and the county!

But these are issues with our open data portal. So we should update that.

The rows were also sorted somewhat differently in 20150401.csv and I found data that seemed to have been updated (for example, slightly different titles and income, etc).
